Enzymes found in human bodies are
Lipases: They remove the fats in the gut.
Amylase: It is present in the saliva. The role of amylase is to break down carbohydrates.
Maltase: These enzymes are found in the small intestine. It breaks down the sugar maltose into glucose.
Trypsin: These enzymes
Upvote We can define enzymes as biocatalysts. It is important in biological processes like digestion, metabolism, and the synthesis of cellular components. If enzymes stop their functions, then the body can not generate enough proteins, which is important for survival. The examples of enzymes are lactase a
Upvote Isoenzymes are the different enzymes that catalyse the same biochemical reaction. However, they differ in amino acid composition and kinetic properties. Examples of isoenzymes are hexokinase and lactate dehydrogenase.
